- Steven Furtick
In my opinion, Crash the Chatterbox is Steven Furtick's best book to date. Why? It's very transparent and something everyone can relate to. The four main issues discussed are insecurity, fear, condemnation, and discouragement. I think we all struggle with these issues from time to time, if not daily. Pastor Steven courageously shares his struggles with these issues and the mindsets and strategies he has found useful in overcoming them.
As someone who faithfully tunes in to listen to Pastor Steven's sermons, I would compare this book to a Greatest Hits album. I have marked up this book, underlining ideas that I have heard in past sermons and have put into practice. What's more - they really do make a difference! It encourages me to hear that I'm not alone in the battles I face inside my head every day. I like having a resource that I can go back to and re-read whenever I need to gain a better perspective and remember what's true.
Pastor Steven admits that reading this book and putting these strategies into practice "doesn't mean the chatter will end. It just means that we'll have something stronger - and louder - to override it every time it starts." We live in the middle of a spiritual battle and there is no way to escape getting involved. In fact, "the more you grow in Christ and the closer you get to fulfilling the things He put you on the earth to do, the more intense the battle with your chatter becomes." Haven't you found this to be true? If there's gonna be chatter, I want to be as prepared as possible to handle it.
I highly recommend reading this book. But don't forget to grab a pen or highlighter when you sit down to read ...you will find truths and encouragement that you'll want to remember in the days ahead!
